CALIBRATION
This training course has been developed by OakCAD/NCT to meet the growing need for
technician engineers to update or upgrade their knowledge and skills in calibration.
Calibration is a unit from our new Certificate in Engineering Maintenance. The units and the
complete qualification are certificated by EAL, as a Certificate of Verified Achievement, and
have achieved the Quality Award from unionlearn.
EAL (Excellence, Achievement & Learning Limited) is a major UK engineering awarding body
and the unionlearn Quality Award is developmental and aims to support providers to

reach the highest possible standards of working with the unions.
The course can be provided as a tutor lead delivered course, as a distance learning course or
flexibly , combining both methods.
The course content has been developed in consultation with several of our large
pharmaceutical and manufacturing clients and delivered as a tutor lead course since 1997.
This course is in modular form. Each module consists of:
1 Course notes
2 Worked examples
3 Trainee self assessments
4 Module assessments
Each module is individually assessed.
On completion of all modules, there is an end of course and practical assessment.
This course has been set at a level equivalent to Level 3 and it is expected that it will take you
approximately 60 hours of self study time or 30 hours of delivered time.
COURSE FEE
The current level of course fees for distance learning courses is displayed on the NCT web site.
For delivered courses, please contact OakCAD.
REQUIREMENTS
To undertake this course, you should have good basic engineering and mathematical
knowledge and preferably experience in instrumentation and control. OakCAD/NCT is able to
advise you as to whether you have the necessary background knowledge and experience to
undertake this course.
INDUSTRY
Although written for the pharmaceutical industry it is also appropriate for the Petro- chemical
industry, Food Manufacture or any industry using automatic production lines and processes.
